Berry Picking

So, I imagine you're wondering what "berry picking" could possibly represent in the world of life and work and soaps.
 

But sometimes "berry picking" is just "berry picking," and berry picking is what I did with my daughters today. But the bags we carried home included far more than crazy good blueberries (sometimes things really are as good as you imagine they can be). Our bags included broccoli (sometimes you have to be willing to climb through lots of underbrush to get to what you want), peaches (often the best things are worth reaching up and shaking a few branches to get to), cucumbers (sometimes the giant leaves hide the real thing, sometimes they just hide the place where the real thing USED to be before everyone found out about it), and, the best, best thing--eggplant (never give up on finding what you really want--it's there, just sometimes a step farther than you're used to looking).
 

Well, I guess "berry picking" may not be just "berry picking" after all. All that tasty goodness, some time in the fresh air, and a learning experience too. Who knew a giant field could be so full?
